Officers pulled the vehicle over and in their investigation, arrested a man and a woman for a variety of offences.

A 25-year-old man is facing two charges of possession of stolen property, driving while prohibited and Motor Vehicle Act Offences resulting in his vehicle being impounded for 7 days.

A 26-year-old woman is facing charges for possession of stolen property. She also faces charges for possession of various weapons and ammunition contrary to conditions she was bound on for other charges not related to this incident.
